<h3>External Services Used</h3>
Safe Sites relies on the following third-party services for security analysis and malware detection. Below is a detailed breakdown of what each service does, what data is sent, and where you can review their policies:
<h3>1. JSONPlaceholder API</h3>
Purpose: Used to fetch demo user data for the demo block feature.
What data is sent & when? 
– The plugin makes GET requests to JSONPlaceholder’s users endpoint when loading the demo block in the editor. 
– No user data is sent to the service; it only receives GET requests. 
– Data is cached for 7 days to minimize API calls.
Terms of Service & Privacy Policy: 
– <a href="https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/guide/" rel="nofollow ugc">JSONPlaceholder Terms</a> 
– This is a free fake API for testing and prototyping.
<h3>2. VirusTotal API</h3>
Purpose: Used to scan file hashes for malware detection and security threats.
What data is sent & when? 
– When a user initiates a manual malware scan, the plugin sends file hashes to VirusTotal for analysis. 
– No actual file contents are sent—only the hash values of files are transmitted.
Terms of Service & Privacy Policy:
